Alentejo Black Pig Platter / SEL / Tábua alentejana, 150g

Enjoy the authentic variety of Alentejo with this exclusive platter of exquisite specialties from free-range black pigs. The carefully curated selection combines typical Portuguese delicacies such as air-dried ham, traditional sausage specialties, and other finely balanced meat products – made according to original regional recipes.

The meat comes from Porco Preto Alentejano, a special breed of pig that is raised in the wild and primarily feeds on natural resources such as acorns (Montanheira). This natural diet gives the meat its unmistakable flavor and a fine, aromatic fat structure.

The products are processed using traditional methods, gently matured, and some are smoked over wood. This creates intense aromas, a tender texture, and a harmonious interplay of savory, mild, and slightly nutty flavors.
